Jones Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 1.4 LX, 1996 N Reg. Will come with 12 months tax and MOT, as well as brand new lower control arms both sides. Only done 40k, recently serviced by Ford, has MOT docs etc. etc. How much you reckon it's worth? Reason I ask is because it's an 8v, and I'm looking for something a little more nippy, and I'm tempted to get a Mondeo 1.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj8608 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Upto 800 that's If somebody wants a low miles escort now if it was an Rs of sorts you could of got more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yep. Once I get it through it's MOT in January I might put it up for sale and look at getting a 1.6 Mondeo. A 1.6 Mondeo is cheaper for me to insure as well. Makes no sense but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Upto 800 that's If somebody wants a low miles escort now if it was an Rs of sorts you could of got more. Really? I wouldn't of thought with various cheaper newer and more economical cars around you would see those prices? Far too many options at just shy of 1k to be had every day.

Jones Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've seen escorts on ebay with over 100k on the clock in nowhere near as good a condition as mine go for at least £600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've seen escorts on ebay with over 100k on the clock in nowhere near as good a condition as mine go for at least £600. You can't always vouch for the prices cars sell for on ebay tbf, the amount of people that I know have sold cars there only for the buyer to not surface..Your sure the Escorts you seen go on ebay were 1.4 escorts? I'm not saying you won't get the money, you never can tell but £800 for an aging 1.4 Escort is a big ask when GTI's and rs2k's are going at those prices. Lots will opt for a Fiesta or Focus at just below 1k not a 1.4 Escort.Thats assuming they even want to go Ford specific. Not trying to p1ss on your parade just being realistic. My guess is that you may get £400, maybe £500 at a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some special people out there who would pay that much if not more but as you said there are plenty of cars about to be had for not a lot so you have to really want a low mileage escort mk6 and not pick any others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jontrev Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I would say £400 - £500 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 i have seen clean escorts with mot and tax fetch 3-500 at auction but obviously at auction its luck of draw i would put it up at £600-700 and expect to haggle to roughly £500-550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) I would say £400 - £500 as well Obviously in that price I wouldn't recommend taxing for 12 months.It's the 12 months MOT most will look at, you almost expect to have to tax your car on purchase, tax is simply an added bonus so I wouldn't throw money on that to sell it.

Craig855S Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'd say no more than £500, unless you manage to mug a fool, and wanting to replace it with a 1.6 Mondeo for "faster" is pretty funny TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun1988 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 just sold THIS FOR £450 outside of ebay, yours may be worth more then that as yours will have 12 months mot and tax, if I was you I would just tax for 6 months when you come to sale it though, would not expect more then £600 I imagine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
